The thing is as well is you won't have had to watch the full thing to have 'watched' it.  Just a percentage.  Loads of people will have watched it partially to be classed as seeing it.  It'll be the same here with this I think.

They'll just lie anyway like they have with Diana. They'll come up with an even more fanciful number because you can't have less people watching the Queen's funeral than Diana's. I'm going to guess they go with 3+ billion.

Channel 5 openly said they picked family movies to allow children to watch something instead of the funeral.  

Of all the classic family movies though they've gone with one that's often been described in the "worst films of all time" category. I don't know what it is but it feels like they're sending some sort of message :D

People pulling the cart, weird.

Mentioned it earlier, but it's because, when Queen Victoria died in 1901, the horses refused to be cooperative, so instead they had it pulled by the guards.

It's then been done at every one since. This will be the 5th funeral its happened at including Victoria's.

It's still weird. To me anyway.

According to the Daily Mail "industry experts" said up to 4.1b which seems fanciful.

This is both impressive and quite dull

Actually going with more than half the world's population this time :rolleyes:

It's just British self-importance. Desperate to still think we're a big deal and the eyes of the world are upon us.

I know there's nothing on but surely we're not counting funerals as a sport now
